Abstract [en]

Sveriges Radio stores their data in large archives which makes it hard to retrieve specific information. The sheer size of the archives makes retrieving information about a specific event difficult and causes a big problem. To solve this problem a more consistent use of metadata is needed. This resulted in an investigation about metadata and keyword genera-tion.The appointed task was to automatically generate keywords from transcribed radio shows. This included an investigation of which systems and algorithms that can be used to generate keywords, based on previous works. An application was also developed which suggests keywords based on a text to a user. This application was tested and compared to other al-ready existing software, as well as different methods/techniques based on both linguistic and statistic algorithms. The resulting analysis displayed that the developed application generated many accurate keywords, but also a large amount of keywords in general. The comparison also showed that the recall for the developed algorithm got better results than the already existing software, which in turn produced a better precision in their keywords.
